Ah, Rock the Garden, the annual big concert event put on by The Walker Art Center and 89.3 The Current. Ten thousand music lovers all in one spot:
Tickets sold out quickly this year but thanks to Flashlight Minneapolis, I won a pair of tickets and could go – yay! It was a beautiful day to see Retribution Gospel Choir (out of Duluth), OK Go, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings and MGMT. I was most excited to see the last two acts, but was pleasantly surprised with OK Go. Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings brought their A-game while MGMT fizzled a bit on the live stage. I think I'll stick to listening to them on CD.
See, this isn't a total non-food post as I HAD to get some tacos from the Barrio Truck:
They had a killer veggie taco filled with pinto beans, roasted poblanos, and fresh cheese. Barrio didn’t skimp on the chips and guac either. Four bucks was a steal for their generous portions and the service was great – quick and with a smile. Just what I like!
So, did you Rock the Garden yesterday? What did you think of the music? Did you eat any good food?
I rocked the garden from afar -- we could hear the music from our apartment. :)
